Daily Holidays -March 29

National Lemon Chiffon
 Cake Day Lemon has never been this luscious - March 29 is National Lemon Chiffon Cake Day!

Following on the heels of Black Forest cake day, cleanse your chocolate, whipped cream and cherry-covered palate with the sweet taste of lemon chiffon cake.

This cake was invented by Harry Baker, a insurance salesman turned caterer, in 1927. He kept the recipe to himself for 20 years before selling it to General Mills. Betty Crocker soon released 14 recipes and variations in a pamphlet in 1948.

Chiffon cake gets its name from the lighter-than-air texture the cake is famous for. The secret to its airy success is its lack of butter. This might upset some of you, but never fear, it is still one seriously great cake.http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/03/29/national-lemon-chiffon-cake-day/

National Mom & Pop Business Owner's Day National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day is observed annually on March 29th. This day honors all small business owners.

Small businesses are a vital part of the United States economy. These businesses are not always appreciated, as they should be, for the vital role that they play. We can show them their much deserved appreciation on National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day.

Owning your own business is a goal that many people strive for. It takes long hours, hard work and much dedication. Countless hours of nurturing the business are needed in the process of growing the business, while following the owners desire of reaching their goal in having a successful business venture.

Some of these businesses are handed down from one generation to the next while others are new start-ups. “Mom and Pop” businesses generally offer superior customer service as the owners take personal pride in their operations as well as pride in their communities.

Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day On March 29th, 1848, ice blockages caused rivers to run dry, and reduced the flow of water to such an extent that Niagara Falls’ 3,160 tons of water per second flow came to a halt. Locals celebrate with Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day, and with plenty of great hotels in the area, it’s not hard to come celebrate with them! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/niagara-falls-runs-dry-day/
